Honda Malaysia has officially opened the order books for the 2023 Honda WR-V in Malaysia, bringing greater clarity to its specifications to expect for our market.

The company's site lists the upcoming compact SUV to run on a 1.5-litre DOHC naturally-aspirated engine, shared with the City and City Hatchback, with a 121 PS/145 Nm output from the four-cylinder mill paired to a CVT automatic transmission.

The model will be available with an RS variant that sports a newly designed RS emblem, unique Front Grille and 17” Dual-Tone Alloy Wheels. Its sleek and sporty look is enhanced by coupé-style rear door handles, giving it an edgy stylishness.

The All-New WR-V also features a Power Retractable Door Mirror, Auto LED Headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) as well as LED Front Fog Lights and LED Sequential Turn Signals.

Thus, the All-New WR-V is also fitted with a host of safety features, including Honda Sensing, a comprehensive and advanced safety technology consisting of eight safety functions:

• Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN)
